The Court of Appeals upheld the 30-day detention measure against defendants A.K and S.M. Thus, the Appeal rejected as unfounded the appeals of the defense lawyers, against the decision of the Basic Court in Prishtina, dated 11.03.2021. A.K. and S.M. are being suspected by the prosecution of having committed the criminal offenses: "Falsification of voting results" under Article 216 paragraph 2 in conjunction with paragraph 1 and Article 31 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo (CCRK); and “Giving or receiving bribes in connection with voting” from article 212 par.4 in conjunction with article 31 of this code. The Court of Appeals assessed that there is a legal basis for imposing the above-mentioned measure on the defendants, since there is a grounded suspicion that they have committed the criminal offenses, they are suspected of, and there are also special circumstances. Their release may interfere with the normal course of criminal proceedings, affect evidence or witnesses, or even repeat the offense.
